So, you could take these placement tests for operating systems, and it will likely complete some quizzes for the Operating systems course. I completed half of that course from taking other courses.

By taking the practice exam, you should score within 10% of your practice exam grade on the final.

Study.com can take up to 7 days to grade a final exam. Then, you still have to wait several days for it to transfer into TESU, then get the grades added to your degree.  I would shoot to get everything done by April 15th, so everything gets done by May 1st.

Ah ok didn't know that. I'll definitely have to kick it into high gear then. I'll be doing operating systems during work hours since I'm in paid training and have study downtime, like 3 hours worth. Then I'll take all 3 tests this weekend and work on the ALU after work. Wish I could do more during work since I have a lot of extra time but there's really nothing else I can do. I can't install software on my work laptop.

Do you think they would accept diagrams from something other than Logisim? I found https://www.circuitlab.com/editor/#?id=57d693 that's online. I could build them while at work and it would actually look like I'm doing my real work, too, since I'm taking circuitry and robotics classes for my real job.


I doubt they will take take anything but Logisim. You could ask, though.

Study.com is taking forever. I have everything done. I took the Data Structures exam this morning. I made a low grade but still have 245 or so points out of 300, so I pass.

Computer Architecture I redid assignment 2 and made a 40, so I have 197 points. I also did assignment one BUT the ALU, so answering the questions and writing out the code and such. I just need 13 points so I'm hoping it's enough to cover it.

My issue is: THEY HAVEN'T GRADED ANYTHING! I have to have this transcript turned in by May 1st! I did email them but I'm not sure what else can be done?

I'm now working on some criminal justice classes. My next plan is getting an AAS in criminal justice for a side project I have. I'm seeking my PI license and am starting their training in the fall. I just need 6 classes to get the AAS from TESU, so I should be able to knock them out this year. There's no timeframe for the degree.

The written assignments are usually graded within 24 hours.

Once you finish all 3 courses, you can wait 24 hours.

After that,  email them to see if they can expedite the grading of the final exam so you can graduate on time.

Then you need to send the Study.com transcript to TESU, verify that they received it, and expedite the evaluation of the transcript.

Thanks. I did email them but they said 1-2 weeks. They did send me an email saying "assignment can't be graded" for my half attempt at assignment 1 for Computer Architecture. I did everything but the ALU, so on my third attempt I made a BS ALU and posted the images. I just need 12 points to finish. I have an overall 66% grade in the course. The final exam has already been graded.

For Data Structures, I did receive the email for the assignment grade and I did well on the exam. I have the points to pass but neither the assignment or exam have been graded yet.

Yeah, and that's what also happens when people private message me, I have to always 'cut out the previous quoted parts' and answer the last post by quoting it only... Oh well, it is what it is...
